1. Florida Panthers
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +900

The newly crowned Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers head into the offseason as the odds-on favorite to repeat as NHL Champions. Considering their recent track record, there's no reason to doubt the Panthers.
32. San Jose Sharks
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +30000

The San Jose Sharks can't win anything, so it's a miracle they somehow managed to win the NHL Draft lotter. That's the only positive on the horizon for the floundering Sharks.
31. Anaheim Ducks
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +30000

For a brief moment, the Anaheim Ducks appeared to be on their way back to relevance. But with several prominent players likely to get moved this offseason, they'll be a stepping stone for nearly every other team in the league.
30. Columbus Blue Jackets
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +30000

The Columbus Blue Jackets haven't had a winning season since 2019-20, and with a lackluster roster and poor analytics, that trend will continue for at least another year.
29. Washington Capitals
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +17000

History might be within reach for the Washington Capitals next season, but it won't be a team success. Alex Ovechkin reaching toward Wayne Gretzky's scoring record is the only goal within reach.
28. Utah Hockey Club
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +10000

Ryan Smith has some ambitious goals for his new hockey club. But as he will inevitably find out, reaching the pinnacle of the sport takes a lot longer than a year to achieve.
27. Montreal Canadiens
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +17000

No one expects the Montreal Canadiens to compete next season. Not even the Montreal Canadiens.
26. Chicago Blackhawks
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +30000

It's taken better players than Connor Bedard a lot longer than two seasons to make a playoff run. It's going to be another long year for the Chicago Blackhawks.
25. Seattle Kraken
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +8000

The Seattle Kraken can't fill the expansion shoes left by the Vegas Golden Knights, and that's reflected in their Stanley Cup futures price.
24. St. Louis Blues
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +4200

No one is off limits on the St. Louis Blues roster this offseason, negatively impacting their Stanley Cup outlook for next season.
23. Calgary Flames
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +6000

The writing is already on the wall for the Calgary Flames. Expect more dominoes to fall ahead of the start of the season, and Calgary's future price to drop with it.
22. Buffalo Sabres
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +5500

The perpetually rebuilding Buffalo Sabres have no prospects of competing next season. There current betting price is a generous position considering their never ending woes.
21. Ottawa Senators
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +3200

This price is way too high for the Ottawa Senators. Every year, pundits project them to make the playoffs, and every year the Sens come up with new and exciting ways of failing to meet those goals.
20. Philadephia Flyers
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +5500

The Philadelphia Flyers have most of the pieces, but they can never bring them together. Don't fool yourselves into believing that it might all come together next year.
19. Detroit Red Wings
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +5500

Led by Steve Yzerman, the Detroit Red Wings took major steps in their collective development last season. That upward trajectory continues next year.
18. Minnesota Wild
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +3100

Competing against some of the top teams in the NHL, the Minnesota Wild have consistently come up short in the Central Division. That will again be the case in 2024-25.
17. Pittsburgh Penguins
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +4300

The window is closing on the Pittsburgh Penguins current roster. They might have one more postseason run in them, but they have to make the playoffs to find out.
16. New Jersey Devils
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1300

Until the New Jersey Devils live up to their expectations, they're undeserving of their status as +1300 frontrunners on the Stanley Cup futures board.
15. Nashville Predators
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +3100

With Juuse Saros, anything is possible. Including another successful regular season, this time resulting in an extended playoff run.
14. Tampa Bay Lightning
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1900

This iteration of the Tampa Bay Lightning could be coming to a close. Steven Stamkos is an unrestricted free agent and the Bolts might not have the capital to keep him in Central Florida.
13. Boston Bruins
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +2300

People keep waiting for the Boston Bruins to collapse, but the Original Six franchise continues to prove naysayers wrong. Still, they've struggled to extend their successes to the playoffs.
12. Los Angeles Kings
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1800

It's been a few years since the Los Angeles Kings enjoyed a deep playoff run, but they consistently put out one of the most competitive clubs in the NHL. If only they didn't have to get past the Edmonton Oilers every postseason.
11. Winnipeg Jets
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +2100

Every year a hot goaltender takes a team further than they deserve to go in the playoffs. We keep waiting for Connor Hellebuyck to be that goalie.
10. Vegas Golden Knights
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1100

It's just a matter of time before Mark Stone goes down with another season-ending injury only to miraculously heal in time for Game 1 of the playoffs.
9. Toronto Maple Leafs
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1400

It doesn't matter what they do, the Toronto Maple Leafs can't seem to get out of their own way. Putting them ninth is overestimating their tendency to always come up short.
8. Carolina Hurricanes
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +950

Every year we believe in the Carolina Hurricanes, and every year they leave us speechless in the postseason. Prove us wrong Carolina, prove us wrong.
7. New York Islanders
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +4200

We saw Patrick Roy transform the New York Islanders into contenders. With a full season of him behind the bench, the Isles could reach new heights in 2024-25. Easily the top value on the board.
6. Vancouver Canucks
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1900

Bringing in Rick Tocchet made all the difference for the perennially underachieving Vancouver Canucks. Expect an aggressive offseason to improve their Stanley Cup odds before things get started in October.
5. Dallas Stars
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1000

The Dallas Stars are made to compete in the postseason, making it to two straight Western Conference Finals. We'll see if they can get over the hump next season.
4. Colorado Avalanche
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +950

Stacked with some of the best players in the NHL, the Colorado Avalanche also have some big holes to fill and limited cap space to work with. Nevertheless, they're always a threat to win the Stanley Cup.
3. Edmonton Oilers
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1000

The Edmonton Oilers were one goal short of achieving the ultimate goal. They will be back for more next season, looking to take the final step toward hoisting Lord Stanley's Mug.
2. New York Rangers
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1300

The reigning President Trophy winning New York Rangers open a little down the futures board, listed at +1300. Granted, they have some cap issues to sort through this offseason, but they are still built to win now
1. Florida Panthers
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +900

The newly crowned Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers head into the offseason as the odds-on favorite to repeat as NHL Champions. Considering their recent track record, there's no reason to doubt the Panthers.
32. San Jose Sharks
2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +30000

The San Jose Sharks can't win anything, so it's a miracle they somehow managed to win the NHL Draft lotter. That's the only positive on the horizon for the floundering Sharks.
